On December 21, 2012, South Korean musician Psy's "Gangnam Style" became the first music video to exceed 1 billion views on YouTube. When it surpassed the then-maximum of 2.14 billion views, it "broke" YouTube's play counter. For over five years, the mega-hit, which highlights the lifestyle associated with Seoul's opulent Gangnam District, ruled supreme on YouTube. In July 2017, Wiz Khalifa's video for "See You Again," featuring Charlie Puth, dethroned it.
